The Littlest Victims (1989)

Based on a true story. Dr. James Oleske (Tim Matheson) of Newark, N.J., becomes one of the first doctors to detect AIDS in children.

[@countryroadsinspirationber9613]

Dr. Oleske practiced in Newark NJ . We travelled from Southern NJ to see him. My son had Immune issues. Dr. Jim is a wonderful, caring , amazing physician. We were so blessed to have him care for my son with CVID . He cared for many kids with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. I'm not sure how i missed this. What an incredible man.

[@CheyennefromTaos]

So glad he got good treatment. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽 Tim Matheson played that role BEAUTIFULLY. Such a highly underrated actor.

[@theresarasche3173]

Just this movie showed me what a wonderful Dr he is. Caring, loving and smart!

[@JoleneSailer]

Very heartbreaking to see the babies, children and even adults in pain and fear. Tim Matheson weather he is being buried alive or portraying Dr. James Oleske always delivers. The cast and crew did a remarkable heartfelt job on this film. God Bless us all....we still have cancer and now this evil virus to battle. Amen.

[@susanhorton9492]

Matheson is a very good actor

Another part of today ... R.I.P. beautiful souls who chose heaven over earth due to lack of funding. Blessings to the beautiful medical staff who stuck around trying to make life better and more informed God bless us all

All baby's that die, go back to God, the One who gave them. Thank God!!

Let us pray that all doctors and nurses have his bedside manner and dedication. My cousin lost her job as a nurse due to not being allowed this kind of bedside manner

[@adrianh332]

I used to be an RN and I was bullied out of my job, they said I was too slow and disorganized but I wasn't, I simply gave each patient the time they needed and deserved which others didn't like, I think they were jealous because my reputation with patients and relatives was really good. My experience caused me to get significant mental health issues. I'm now a postal worker and my stress level is zero, I miss nursing but you can't put a price on peace of mind so I wouldn't go back.

I started a humanitarian project in South Africa. I was there for a year in 2006. Then sponsored them till my body was overwhelmed with hidden toxic mold poisoning. The Zulu's in SA were my best friends ever. I lost 3 of them to AIDS. Heartbroken still. 💔💔💔

[@cristineconnell7803]

Much fraud in government there I believe, again using us as guinea pigs! Africa has long been an initial target! Funny how Gates jumped from computer viruses making him rich to human viruses making him ultra powerful & beyond rich! Fauci & Gates were much involved, including care & treatment & funding! Heard treatments that helped or worked were covered up & restricted, as we have seen in current times, while big ph a r ma makes billions & we go broke! With commercials coming out telling us to be happy to no longer own ANYTHING! Wake up folks, & support Doctor's like this who fight for truth & saving lives! It's not 1 country against another, but elites & those with nwo agenda that want more power & control! They were talking about us useless eaters back around when this was playing out too! And too many showed little to no compassion for those they saw as less than themselves! No one knows how another gets there, without walking a mile in their shoes!

I love the way the doctor is so tender with the kids amazing. I also love how hard he's fighting for them.

[@alberthahernandez1595]

This is the first that I am seeing this movie.When I think about all the people that died of AIDS just because of the stigma.I am crying right now.

Awesome film.. compassion and love is what we need to show our fellow man not criticism . It’s not for us to judge.

By the time it was first published In the Morbidity and Mortality weekly report in 1981, Doctors in other parts of the US were seeing it in many heterosexuals.

[@candycoatedcyanide3267]

@simone5239 you should learn to be more forgiving and more compassionate it doesn’t cost a thing.

Depends, Content of Character! The Doctor portrayed had Character in spades, government officials & 3 letter agencies not so much!

[@mfeltrin1]

A simple statement - I have often thought if every working person donated a dollar a week to medical research for Cancer, AIDS, MS. etc. and the companies they work for donated 10 dollars a week or more if they so choose how far advanced we could be... It's less than 5 dollars a month to save many lives including our own or someone we love.

[@HopeCreekConnemara]

maria feltrin I hate to say but the medical establishment and the pharmaceutical industry doesn’t make money when people are healthy. They have cures for cancer

[@cristineconnell7803]

We have to stop the corruption from the top down first, & we have now suffered 2 yrs under the same bureaucracy, & some of the same players, that do disgusting things to puppies, monkey's, & little orphan black babies in NY! Then there are those, even within the cdc & nih I believe who do truly care about the people preservation that science should support, not those who have obsession with over crowding!

I watched this when it aired (I was 9 years old) and it scared me. I knew the ways one could and couldn't get HIV but it was still scary to see people waste away.

[@sibongnimatole7242]

It's a shame how many innocent people died, and so much time wasted looking for diagnosis

[@katel7309]

I did my nurses training in the 1980's but it wasn't until I moved to another hospital as an RN in the 1990's that HIV was really forefront in hospital infection control that I remember, this is in Australia. If you got a needle stick you got tested for HIV. I don't remember freaking out about it but maintaining universal infection control practice.

[@Babymommalove]

This movie had me crying. But am amazing movie.

[@angelrussell750]

This is different than the others.

[@keishajones5899]

One of my friends died from HIV related complications in 2000. Unfortunately the stigma attached to HIV and AIDS here in Jamaica at that time, due to lack of knowledge on the matter, was horrible. I rarely eat from people and I sat with her, ate her cooking and drank from her cup, because I never wanted wanted her to feel less than she was. I believe it’s the stigma that caused her to give up the fight, and not the pneumonia. I remember when she started to get ill and was undiagnosed, I new very little about about the disease. I use to give my vitamin supplements hoping they would make her better, not knowing she was HIV positive (she didn’t know yet either).

This movie is from 1989. How many times did this happen since then? How many bags with infected blood slipped through due to greed or simple negligance.

[@KimF1]

1980? I don't remember hearing about AIDS til 1984. Well, I guess 1980 was when it was first noticed?

[@shirleyjust3305]

Very educational. Really speaks to why we are all in isolation because of this virus we are fighting today. We have spent so much money and so much blood has been shed to spread democracy around the world, that we no longer have any left for the American's.

[@valoriebritton2047]

@@dorothyemmerson2064 Well, back in the mid 80's they told people they did but they were lying to everyone, I know this first hand because my young child needed a blood transfusion and I was petrified, (we were at a big children s hospital) and I asked all the docs if it was tested, (this was in the hight of the AIDS) epidemic, (and this is when you just died from aids, there was no medication to control it), anyway, they all said it was tested . Well, 2 years later I get a call for m my son's pediatrician saying he had to come in for an aids test because 17 children had contracted aids from their blood supply...I thought I was going to die...So then I asked the pediatrician was it tested and he said NO, they weren't really testing, but saying they were! So, that was my experience...thank God my son hadn't contacted aids, but he had to be tested constantly for it, (plus he had health issues) but that just wasn't the case...💔
